I'll try not to make this too long. Just sold our older Montana and got a heck of a deal on a '15 Shasta Phoenix 33ck. It was purchased new in July '16 and taken from the dealer lot to an rv park and has been there since. So there is about 40 miles on it. Good...and maybe bad. Definitely has not been road tested. 12v side has never been used. Fresh Water tank, pump etc. the unit is immaculate and I got it for about 6k under average retail according to nada. There is a chance this could be our last fifth wheel...I've said that to my wife probably 4-5 times! Just want to bounce this around a bit. Anything I'm missing. I'll be replacing tires and batteries and hopefully that's about it.

Check the black and gray tanks to make sure they're clean. I was in a campground a few years ago and had a neighbor who had bought his fifth wheel in-situ​. It had skirting all around and a porch built next to it. The sewer pipe was attached to the tank dumps and the valves left open. One day, it all backed up. What a mess. Huge turds were clogging it all upPeople need to be aware that these RVs are not mobile homes or park models.
